Aaaw. It seems much further away down my back. But then that's maybe because I can't see it. Need to get hubby to take some length photos!

I'm at 20.25" and APL is 23" on me.. Apparently I should be there around November - December. I guess we'll see! I haven't started towel pics yet, doesn't seem to be a point. I'm not close enough.
I just measured my hair and it says I grew a little more than an inch this month. I am floored. I must have remeasured five times. I always knew my hair grew fast, but that sounds insane. I will keep measuring monthly to make sure I didn't just get the first measurement wrong.
On one hand, I'm really glad I trimmed back in June, but on the other, it feels like I've been at shoulder for years and I'll never make collarbone, even though they're so close together. I'm also very annoyed that I'm experiencing a summer shed but not a summer growth spurt. Stupid hair.
Hi guys!
Here is my three months update of my towel test! :cool:
Sorry the quality of the picture is a little different because I used a camera with a self-timer this time and the color and clarity is not that great:

Getting closer! At least when I grab my hair in the back I can actually feel like I´m grabbing onto some hair, it fills my whole hand! The shoulder length is such a pain to get out of! Ack.
Just going to quietly slip in this thread. Stretched my hair is solidly at APL but dry it springs back up to shoulder length, my curly goal for now is APL which will probably take a while. :) Good luck to all of you on reaching your hair goals!
I know how you feel. I'd be at apl now if only I'd learn to put down the scissors. I've got severe see through ends through a massive shed last year so the hair needs to go, but I'm never going to get there!!!! I'd be at apl in a few weeks if I haven't chopped the other week. I just wear it up everyday now.Quote:

It is a long dull journey. I'm at the stage where it actually looks APL in the mirror with no towel (don't worry, I won't inflict dodgy pics!) but when I look with the towel I see I have an inch to go still. Unless it's wet. I'm there, wet :disco: hang in there!
That is some serious growth for 3 months! Especially as you're curly! Congratulations!Quote:

And tell me about long dull journey! I´ve been in shoulder lenght for 1.5 years! :rolleyes: Because I was trying to get rid of layers and was addicted to chopping one or two inches almost every month!
Now I started to microtrim and it sort of helped. Your hair is looking really long! And what a difference from that pixie. You sure had long ways to go from there!
It is dull but the end is in sight for you, no doubt about it! I haven't trimmed since November because I don't mind the last few layers, they help with updos. I've been in shoulder-APL for a year now.
I actually started at zero pretty much- when I joined in 2011 I had unremovable henndigo. Went ultra short to remove it. The pic in my siggy is 6 months after I cut the last of the dye out. I'm so happy that I'm getting close to my 2011 length again! Where was your starting point?
